Over time, the business grew and was passed down to Claude's grandson, Jean-Remy Moët, who took over the company in 1792. Jean-Remy was an ambitious man, and he saw the potential for Champagne to become a luxury product enjoyed by the royal courts of Europe. He began marketing Champagne to the French aristocracy, and soon Moët & Chandon became the official supplier of Champagne to the court of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Today, Moët & Chandon is owned by the luxury goods conglomerate LVMH and is one of the largest Champagne producers in the world. It continues to produce high-quality Champagne using traditional methods, and its wines are enjoyed by people all over the world to celebrate special occasions and moments of joy.

Moët & Chandon cuvée Ice Impérial is a champagne specifically designed to be enjoyed over ice. It was first introduced by Moët & Chandon in 2011 and has since become a popular choice for those looking for a refreshing and unique champagne experience.

Moët & Chandon cuvée Ice Impérial is best served in a large wine glass filled with ice cubes, which helps to bring out the champagne's refreshing qualities.

The property

For more than 200 years, the Loosen family has been at the head of the Weingut Dr Loosen, one of the largest producers of white wines in Germany.

After studying archaeology, Ernst Loosen took over the management of the family estate in 1988, after many experiences in wineries in Austria, Burgundy, Alsace and California.

As one of the 200 producers belonging to the VDP, the prestigious German association of Classified Quality Domains Prädikatswein, the Weingut Dr.Loosen produces, from its 20 hectare vineyard, great German wines expressing with authenticity the typicity of their terroir of origin.

The vineyard

This Ürziger Würzgarten Kabinett from the Weingut Dr Loosen is made from a unique terroir in Moselle, which owes its uniqueness to its volcanic soil, whose bright red colour reflects the high iron content of the soil. This exceptional vineyard gives the wines a rich aromatic palette with notes of spices and exotic fruits.

The wine

Classified as a VDP.Grosse Lage, the equivalent of a Grand Cru, this Moselle white wine is a Prädikatswein Kabinett, the most delicate style of Riesling. This classification reflects the high level of quality required in the production of this wine, which is made from the best grapes harvested in emblematic vineyards.

Winemaking and maturation

Fermentation is stopped by cooling, resulting in a reduction in alcohol content and a moderate amount of residual sweetness that provides a subtle and flavourful balance with the natural acidity of the wine.
